BUZI Gold is Better than Mealie King?

The famers are preparing the fields for the maize. The farms are huge - some as large as 3,000 hectares (1 hectare = 2.47 acres). The most modern equipment is used to cultivate. We watched just for a bit as nitrogen gas was used to fertilize one field.
.
The maize is harvested and delivered to the local storage owned by the Allum Brothers. We were given a tour of the grain elevators by Lynette Nel, an employee of the company and also chair of the Hospice board. The silos can store 50,000 tons of maize. The automated system in place must rival any found in America. Gas fired drying, automated injection of incecticide and conveyor belt moving from silo to silo by the ton noisily impressed us.
.
The maize is stored for farmers who decide when to order it sold. Prices fluxuate and are influenced by the Chicago Board of Trade.
.
Maize of better quality is ground into granules to make maize meal meal - a form of grits and a staple of South Africa. The packaging system is on site. Quality control is strict. Lynette gave us the royal tour - from lorry (large truck) loaded with maize weighing in all the way to loading the pallets of maize meal onto flatbeds. We saw that Maelie King "The Real Makoya" and BUZI Gold, are actually the same product placed in different bags! We promised not to spread this fact beyond this blog.

We finished the day covered with a light dust of corn meal and a satisfaction that we now have insight into the basis of thr economy and the working of those monsterousy huge silos.
